Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will make it his policy to require schools to make available online their medical conditions policies under the statutory guidance for children with medial conditions.

Asked by:
Mr James Frith (Labour)

Answer

All governing boards should ensure that the schools policy for supporting pupils with medical conditions is reviewed regularly and is readily accessible to parents and school staff.

We keep the statutory guidance, ‘supporting pupils in schools with medical conditions’, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/supporting-pupils-at-school-with-medical-conditions--3, under review and plan to host a roundtable with the Health Conditions in Schools Alliance where issues such as this will be discussed.
